Yes, getting it to taste the way you want it to be can be a bit of a mission. My approach generally is to let it ferment all the way down then add back sugar or apple juice (if I am really clever, rather than add back sweetness, I will stop it from fermenting when it is down to the sweetness level that I want).
As you plan kegging, then no need to add sugar for carbonation. I use sealed bottles and hot waterbath pasteurising to stop fermentation after carbonation has built up, but the chemical approach also works. While I use heat pasteurising to get a "sweet" carbonated cider, Andrew Lea's book suggests a method for doing this without capped bottles (to avoid "bottle bombs") so I imagine that the result would be a sweetened cider ready to keg.
As a guide, I don't like my cider too sweet so 10 -20g of residual sugar per litre (i.e. SG 1.004 -1.008) which is about the same as up to a teaspoon of sugar in a cup of coffee, which is fine by my tastes. Conventionally, sweeter ciders can have in the order of 30 - 40 g/L of sugar (FG 1.012 - 1.015).
The other "taste trick" is to add some malic acid (this is the prominent acid in apple juice) to get a bit of "apple bite". This can be done simply by taste by adding acid to a small sample (say 100ml or so) then extrapolating this up to the whole batch. I imagine that the Kirkland juice is mostly from dessert apples which will typically have a high pH and a low acidity level.
A "good" flavour balance is generally around a pH of 3.6 and a Total Acidity of 0.5 - 0.7%, but you can sort of get there by taste if you aren't able to measure.
Good luck!
